Giorgio Scalvini agrees to a new long-term contract with Atalanta

Summary

Atalanta defender Giorgio Scalvini has finalized an agreement on a new long-term contract with the club. The deal follows interest from Newcastle United, which pursued the 22-year-old during the summer transfer window. While Scalvini held two seasons remaining on his previous contract, Atalanta maintained that the center-back was an untouchable asset crucial to the plans of head coach Maurizio Sarri. The Italy international has recovered from recent injury setbacks and started all three of the club's matches for the 2026-27 season. An official announcement regarding the signing is expected soon. Scalvini now aims for a selection in the Italy national team squad for the upcoming international break.
